THE PRAYER - Shalom Rav is, alternately
with Sim Shalom,
one of the two prayers for peace that conclude the daily Amidah.
Shalom Rav normally occurs in the Mincha (afternoon) and Ma-ariv
(evening) services, while Sim Shalom concludes the Shacharit (morning)
and Musaf (additional) services.

MUSIC/ PERFORMANCE -
Befitting its text, this work aims at pure lyricism and atmospheric
bliss, and should be approached as such. The long, soaring melodic
lines should be sung molto legato e sostenuto (very smooth and
sustained), and staggered breathing will be essential in this effort.

In the Men's Voice (TTBBB) version, care must be taken to accurately
observe the differentials in indicated dynamics from voice to voice.
This is important for balance in the denser sonority of all men's
voices.

Abundant peace to Your people Israel
And to all who dwell on earth,
May You grant forever.
For You are the Sovereign Lord of all peace,
May it be good in Your sight to bless Your people Israel
In all times and at every hour
With Your peace.
Praised are You, O Lord,
[Praised is He and praised is His name]
Who blesses Your people Israel with peace.
[Amen.]
